Total geekery at the ANML.

Among the geeky hobbies enjoyed by some of us at the lab is old computers -- if it's out of date, obsolete, and has a narrow data bus, there's a good chance that one of us is somewhat interested. If you pool our mental resources, we could probably write a book of trivia on just about any major 8-bit computer of the 80s.

Even so, one of us had a moment this week that provoked a full-fledged, "Wow, I really am a dork about this stuff."

The guilty party had just bought this lot on eBay, which was advertised as an old TRS-80 and two Odyssey2 consoles. See if you can guess why the photo was so interesting -- there's something unusual there. (Have no idea? Don't worry; we'll post again.)
